Show Us Some "Real" Naked Men, Too

Last week, we reported on a new website that encourages women to anonymously show off their ladyparts. Now, another project that showcases real women's bodies is getting some major attention. Started in 2005 by a photographer named Matt Blum, The Nu Project (NSFW), enlists women of all shapes and sizes flaunt their naked bods for the world to see.

The collection of photographs, which is kinda like a more suped-up version of Dove's "real beauty" ad campaign, is really inspiring—and totally gorgeous. And, while the idea of showcasing different women in the buff isn't a new thing, we love that these projects keep getting major attention.

Because, seriously, the more exposure society at large has to real women's bodies, the better. It helps men have more realistic expectations of what women actually look like naked, too. (We can't all be size zero porn stars, amiright?)

While we're on the topic of realness, I'd love for someone to take on showcasing real dude's bods too—and not just because it will give me a totally acceptable excuse to look at naked men. While I think it's safe to say that women bear the brunt of beauty-related expectations, there's also a degree of pressure on guys to be tall and chiseled with just the right amount of body hair. It would be nice to give men a confidence boost in that they don't have to look like Channing Tatum to be super hot.

So, I say keep these campaigns coming…just maybe include dudes in the next one?
